The few who are lucky enough to visit this most mysterious continent do so by ships. To reach Antarctica, ships must pass through a notoriously violent area of ocean called the Drake Passage, considered to be the roughest stretch of sea on the planet. Walls of water thirty, sometimes forty feet high continually crashed about our ship for two solid days. We would hold on to a rope inside the ship while being violently tipped to one extreme side, then to the other, and then back again. My daughter Claire and I were as mentally prepared as we could be. About two and a half days after entering the Drake Passage, the waters calmed. Soon, we noticed small black spots on nearby pieces of floating ice. Emperor penguins! Then, we began the two-mile hike over the ice to the penguin colony. Within several hundred yards, little clusters of emperors, perhaps ten or so at a time, greeted us, sliding on their bellies and making their wonderful noises, sort of a nasally squeal. One day two adult emperors with their three chicks in tow approached Claire, who was resting on the ice. They left the chicks with her, as if she were the babysitter. Twenty minutes later they returned to collect the chicks. And I will never forget the penguin that, when I jokingly asked which way back to the helicopters, pointed a wing in the correct direction. Every night aboard our safe and warm ship, we thought about what it takes to survive in Antarctica, an incredibly harsh place. But each day on the ice, we also thought about the Drake Passage, that monstrous body of water we had to endure to get where we were. Over the course of our visit, we came to respect the power of that sea. We still talk about the penguins, as I’m sure we always will. But we talk about the Drake too. Both experiences were unforgettable, and one would not have been possible without the other. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和女儿去南极洲的路程中成功穿越德雷克海峡， 并最终看到了帝企鹅。 1．What does the underlined word “notoriously” mean in Paragraph 1?

In a video on Facebook, a small group of people could be seen cheering on the swimmer from Colorado as she made her final arrival to beach at Dover.Supporters congratulated Mrs Thomas on her non-stop swim，handing her chocolate and other gifts.In the video, Mrs Thomas admitted to feeling “a little sick” but said she had been encouraged to keep going by her husband and her team. Before the start of her challenge，Mrs Thomas wrote that she was “fearful” and admitted she was “going to need some luck”． In a Facebook post made on Saturday, she dedicated (奉献) the swim “to all the survivors out there”， adding，“This is for those of us who have wondered hopelessly about what comes next, and have overcome the pain bravely.” After her swim, Mrs Thomas said，“I’m really tired and I’m losing my voice from all the salt water.” Asked what the worst part of her challenge was，she said，“Probably dealing with the salt water over two days.It really hurts your throat, your mouth and your tongue.” She praised her support team for helping her stay strong，adding that she was very prepared for the weather, currents and cold water.“I feel just mostly stunned right now.I just can’t believe that we did it.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了曾患乳腺癌的Sarah Thomas打破纪录，成为首位连续四次成功游泳穿越英吉利海峡的人。 5．What’s the attitude of Mrs Thomas’s husband to her swimming challenge?
